Edit!!

If you are buying a few items,you geta 5% reduction down to £379.05 and you can get TopCashBack or Quidco cashback too,which will drop it closer to £370.

Not criticising you posting this deal, but what were the intro price on OCUK when the 6600 XT launched again?

How we laughed about those tiny die 128-bit card launching at £380 or so. Now the next model down is considered a bargain at £400.

Well, since these perform around the 1080 level and those are going for £400-£450 (£460 on CEX ATM) used and use less power and have HDMI 2.1 this is actually a good deal. In Dec 2021.

If you buy a few more items,and use a cashback website it drops the price down to £370ish. I know the last time I saw an RX6600 for any appreciable amount of time was in October,when Ebuyer had some for just under £350.

What's worse the RX6600XT at launch was poor value at £330,but the RX6600 at launch,barely had any at £300,and they were mostly £320+ for a while.

In the current market it's "good" value,but historically its a bit meh for a 128 bit memory controller using dGPU. In some ways it still means if you can get an RTX3060TI in a prebuilt system for £1000ish with a Core i5 11400F/Ryzen 5 5600G/Ryzen 5 5600X you are doing well in 2021.

I only put it up in case someone really needed a dGPU now,and couldn't get an RTX3060TI FE,so at least if you are overpaying its better than the £430~£450 prices elsewhere.

Ah, I though I remember the launch price being £330 a quick search didn't find the MSRP of the 6600XT or even the OCUK deal thread from the time.

Guess it depend on the test suite but on CB 6600XT is 30% faster than a 1080


So if the 6600XT was anywhere near MSRP, then 1080 would have to sell for £250 or less used.

It was around £330 on launch week,and the RX6600 had like 5 cards at £300,then it soon on the launch day settled at £320~£340,which it kept for a week or so.

The big issue is unless you buy from CEX,there is no warranty too which a new GPU has,so that is a factor too. I am not saying these are good value historically. The RTX3060TI FE,was the only sub £500 dGPU,at its RRP,which offer a 30% to 40% performance improvement over the similarly priced RTX2060 Super,so it was OK for what it is.

The RX6600 was always overpriced IMHO,and the RX6600XT even at £320,was still worse value than an RTX3060TI FE at £369,but probably was fine against the AIB RTX3060TI dGPUs which at best were £400~£450 in late 2020.
